Prior to Kobe Bryant's tragic, unexpected passing, the Nike Kobe signature series was largely championed by serious hoopers and longtime fans of the Los Angeles Lakers legend. After Jan. 26, 2020, the world began paying attention to the line, leading to unprecedented demand for original and Protro (performance retro) versions of sneakers.
Supply and demand for Nike Basketball's athletic-specific range has stabilized over the past two years, although anything stamped with Kobe Bryant's branding continues to promptly sell out. Bryant's widow, Vanessa, has worked with the Swoosh conglomerate to bring her late husband's ethos to a variety of products in recent memory, but performance styles like the Kobe 6 continue to reign, demonstrating just how intentional the "Black Mamba"'s design input was in the early 2010s. Recent Player-Exclusives (PEs) for the New York Knicks' Jalen Brunson and Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark have added to the model's allure.
Ahead, you'll find an on-going list of Kobe 6 PEs expected to release between now and the Holiday 2026 season. Keep an eye on House of Heat°'s Upcoming Releases Calendar to see when these and other styles become available for purchase.
